That's kind of an enigmatic piece. It has a sheen to it that indicates it's probably an oil painting, yet it looks like it's been folded, spindled and mutilated over time. Also, the young lady's hand placement and body posture indicate that she was originally painted leaning on something. It looks like traces of it still exist in the water. Perhaps some rocks? Also, it looks like there's been some extra work done around the chin of the beguiling maiden.

Anyway, I like it! It's a depiction of the myth of the South Pacific with nubile and willing maidens enticing sailors to unknown shores. The little man in the boat will soon be satisfied!
